“..Wherever people have been bound to slavery, other people have readily served to act as enforcers of that servitude, always in sufficient numbers and with sufficient ingenuity to make the recovery of freedom difficult, even bloody.
“The scarcity of a thing increases its value. When freedom is scarcest, people will die for what little is left.”

-SM NONA (from “THE BRIGHTNESS: Secrets of the Third Angel, and the Bridge at Kino Springs”) 2010.
